Great! It would be nice to have a more complete plotting interface 
rather than passing strings to the Gnuplot pipe with gp:send that 
already requires acquaintance with Gnuplot. But at least it seems to be 
decently flexible.

Thanks! I'll change wxt to x11 that presumably should work with more 
people, and clarify that the idea is to use any of the interactive 
screen displays like qt, wxt, x11.
